| |
On this website we have included many of the leading photographers of 19th century Japan including Felice Beato (ca. 1825 - ca. 1908), Baron Raimund von Stillfried (1839-1911) and Adolfo Farsari (1841-1898) and included exhibitions on Japan in the 19th century and Japanese Ambrotypes. This exhibition takes us into the little studied area of the pictorial photographs by anonymous Japanese photographers taken in the first few decades of the twentieth century.
Thanks to Rob Oeschle for kindly providing this exhibition.

| Feb 16, 2008 | Joel Salcido: Spain - Millenium Past | |
| |
As Joel Salcido writes:
"My photography depicts a Spain of soulful traditions that include fiestas and brave bulls; both visually elegant and poetic. These images were perhaps meant to be painted but instead became photographs. May Spain remain forever odd, precarious and precious."
Spain has an extremely rich photographic history as the book 150 Years of Photography in Spain (Lunwerg, 2000) by the Spanish photo-historian Publio López Mondéjar attests. The same intertwined religious and secular traditions that Joel documents have been recorded by pictorialists such as José Ortiz-Echagüe (1886-1980) whose photographic archive at the University of Navarra must be one of the finest photographic legacies left to any country.

| Feb 15, 2008 | The Photomicroscopy of Carl Strüwe (1898–1988) | |
| |
Prof. Gottfried Jäger of the Carl Strüwe-Archiv (Bielefeld, Germany) has graciously provided this series of microphotographs by the German graphic designer Carl Heinrich Jakob Strüwe (1898–1988).
From the earliest days of photography the scientific potential was appreciated and Henry Fox Talbot took examples of specimens with microscopes as did John William Draper and René Patrice Proudhon Dagron. Joseph Janvier Woodward in the USA used microphotography at the time of the American Civil War to document his scientific research and later the French photographer Laure Albin-Guillot took color microphotographs to reveal abstractions within nature.
Carl Strüwe spent his career as a graphic designer and this shows in his photographs - at first they were unmanipulated representations of magnified natural forms but when he combined these using multiple exposure and solarization they morphed from capturing an accurate image into photographs concerned with graphical impact. With the plants of Karl Blossfeldt in Urformen Der Kunst. Photographische Pflanzenbilder (Berlin, 1928) it was about recording the actual shapes of plants as a source of study with Carl Strüwe it was increasingly about visual impact and the later microphotographs such as Crystals (Komposition aus Kristallen) (1947) and Kalkkörper vom Seewurm - Synapta (Anker-Komposition) (1952) clearly show this.

| |
The series Domesticated by Amy Stein examines the relationships between the human and animal worlds as they mingle...
The photographs in this series are constructed based on real stories from local newspapers and oral histories of intentional and random interactions between humans and animals. The narratives are set in and around Matamoras, a small town in Northeast Pennsylvania that borders a state forest.
Thanks to Amy for being kind enough to provide this series.
